GTFO

and they used live ammunition because they can, and no one is going to tell them no. Unlike Charlie Sheen, they are actually qualified to handle the equipment (ammo included.)

and yes, I know you were joking. Not flaming...

Sorry beHop I couldnt help it. Yes I am just joking around. There is nothing wrong with a good shoot 'em up movie.

Roger Ebert just put up his review of this. Gave it 2 1/2 stars. Basically it was made as a recruitment film. It plays out as such. Mostly action, very little plot. I would rather see "Hell and Back Again"

quote:
"Act of Valor" is gift-wrapped in patriotism. It was once intended as a recruitment film, and that's how it plays. The action scenes are harrowing but exciting. Lots of explosions and special effects. At the end, there is a full-dress military funeral, honoring three generations of warriors. The real action scenes in "Hell and Back Again" don't play like an action movie. I don't recall seeing a single Taliban fighter. One of Sgt. Harris' men is killed on the first day in the field. Harris is wounded late in his tour. Nobody saw either one of the snipers.
